In an interview with Blavity’s Shadow and Act, actors like Sanaa Lathan talked about their involvement in the film and the characters.
“Clarice and Odette are her angels,” Lathan said. “I don’t think she would have stayed alive without them. There are these friends that you meet immediately and it’s like you recognize each other from another life. It was this kind of soul mate connection and I think the story is so beautiful. They’re all incredibly different and they accept each other wholeheartedly, unconditionally and through all the times, through all the ups and downs. I mean, it’s a great love story. I loved playing Barbara Jean and I loved being in a movie that celebrates that kind of friendship because it’s something real that people have.”
The film also stars Aunjanue Ellis Taylor, Uzo Aduba Mekhi Phifer, Julian McMahon, Vondie Curtis-Hall, Russell Hornsby, Tati Gabrielle, Kyanna Simone Simpson and Abigail Achiri.
Here is the official summary:
